Sanders on Potential Bloomberg’s Run: ‘Country’s Moving ... to Oligarchy’

RADDATZ: "And what do you think about the possibility of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, another billionaire, getting in the race?"
SANDERS: "Well, you know, I think it would be very interesting if Donald Trump became the Republican candidate who is a multi-billionaire, and Michael Bloomberg became an independent candidate who is a multi-billionaire. And it will tell people what I have been saying for a long time is that this country is moving away from democracy to oligarchy that billionaires are the people who are controlling our political life. That is what — that is not what, to my view, American democracy is supposed to be about, a contest between billionaires. If that takes place, I am confident that we will win it."
RADDATZ: "OK. Thank you for joining us this morning, Senator Sanders, good to see you again."
SANDERS: "Thank you."
